Skegness QAVS

NCI Skegness is a recipient of the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.

The Watch Station at NCI Skegness was opened by The High Sheriff of Lincolnshire Mrs JGA Hughes on 24th March 2017. It is a single storey demountable building purpose built for NCI Skegness

The building provides excellent purview to the wind farms and their workboats to the east, the foreshore at Butlin’s Holiday Centre some 2 miles to the north and Skegness central beach some 2 miles to the south. It overlooks the Winthorpe Beach, an increasingly popular bathing beach and Jacksons Corner Boatyard half a mile to the north where small boats, ribs and jet skis are launched throughout the year. The beach is also a magnet for anglers, dog walkers, detectorists, kite surfers and kayakers.

Visitor Policy:

Visitors are welcome to call in at any time but we would ask organisers of proposed organised larger groups to contact the Station Manager. Should an incident occur during the visit visitors may be asked to leave
